Biochemical characterization of avirulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens chvA mutants: synthesis and excretion of beta-(1-2)glucan.

The chvA gene product of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is required for virulence and attachment of bacteria to plant cells. Three chvA mutants were studied. In vivo, they were defective in the synthesis, accumulation, and secretion of beta-(1-2)glucan; however, the 235-kilodalton (kDa) protein known to...
